The Timbers fell behind by two goals for the second time in seven days but, despite applying pressure to the Montreal defense in the second half, were unable manufacture a repeat of the Season Opener and salvage a point.

Montreal took the lead in the 30th minute through Hassoun Camara who scored with an excellent bicycle kick that left Donovan Ricketts stranded. They doubled their lead on the hour when Felipe latched onto a cross from Andrés Romero to beat Ricketts at his near post.

In the 80th minute the Timbers pulled one goal back after Ryan Johnson managed to poke home a Ben Zemanski cross.

Man of the Match: Not much to choose from this week but I'll pick Ryan Johnson for his goal with a special mention to Donovan Ricketts who made a couple of vital saves.

Chris Gluck's blog for the Columbian brings up an interesting point. He mentions in his player evaluations that the Timbers' coaching staff prepared the squad in the knowledge that Montreal would be a threat from counterattacks and set pieces. Unfortunately, that's where Montreal's goals came from.
